But I also remind you that the kernel-supplied r8192_pci driver does not support friedsonjm's wifi device (PCI ID 10ec:8172). It might be worthwhile telling us what your device ID is.
If you have the same ID, the only driver which will work is the vendor-supplied version.

I downloaded the source you suggested and again, after making sure I had the kernel source and devx sfs files installed, I extracted all the files in the realtek source package, navigated to the directory containing them and as per the readme included, opened a terminal there and typed make.
I got warnings of routines used by the driver not being found and also files needed for the compile not found.
I examined the make file also, but not knowing what to change or add for the compile to complete without error 2ing out leaves me at a loss. So for now, I will be happy to be able to connect with the windows driver and ndiswrapper and leave the linux driver compile to those that have an idea of what they are doing.
So for now, no hand holding is required.
But thank you for trying.

I downloaded the r8192cd_pci-k2.6.33.2.pet driver and loaded it and wlan0 came up. I configered the network and my wireless network is finally working now. This is fantastic news. I am one step closer to replacing Windows 7 with Puppy. I am currently booting Puppy from a flash drive. Windows 7 won't let me repartition the harddrive to dual boot Puppy and Windows 7 so I plan to replace Windows 7 with Puppy. I'll have to try and connect to my wireless laser printer next to see if that will work.
